Great news. Thanks for sharing. And please cover these roads when some Ben Ladinisc toad comes around. They tend to get really jealous.

Fantastic news. :k: There has never been as much sustained infrastructural development in Pakistan, as there has been under the Musharraf govt.

Good to hear that, I appreciate Musharraf for granting/approving probably the highest amount for Karachi development too (Rs 29 billion?). Roads and highways (esp connecting cities) are really essential for economy.

Also as long as the Army remains on top, and keeps politicians at arms length I'm satisfied. :)

Yup, because it is clear that Pakistan can only really develop under military rulers, especially if they are like General Musharraf and Ayub Khan.

Indeed. Who knows, we may have another great leader in Kiyani in the future. :)

As I have said before it is important that we see no disturbance in the sustained economic growth seen during the last 8 years under Musharraf, and the unprecedented infrastructural development that we have winessed all over Pakistan.
